Chinese can t finish eating, tens of billions of rabbits in serious cases, to what extent are Austra

To put it bluntly, the Chinese can't finish eating Australian rabbits. This is a simple math problem, as the country with the most rabbits in the world, China consumes 500 million rabbits every year, but when the Australian rabbit disaster was at its worst, there were about 10 billion rabbits on the entire continent, even if these rabbits obediently lined up for Chinese to eat, it would take 20 years to eat.

What's more, rabbits have a very strong reproductive ability, a pair of rabbits can breed dozens of offspring in a few years, according to the population size of 10 billion rabbits, I am afraid that the speed of our eating is not as fast as the reproduction of rabbits. So how can there be so many rabbits in Australia? Why can't we control their numbers?

In 1788, the British First Fleet escorted a group of prisoners to Australia for exile, and brought some poultry, rabbits and other animals as human meat by the way, and Australia had rabbits for the first time.

In addition to eating, Europeans liked to hunt rabbits as a pastime at the time, and Thomas Austin was an avid fan of this sport. Although Australia's natural environment is suitable for rabbit breeding, Thomas Austin felt that there were too few Australian rabbits, so he asked relatives to send 12 burrowing rabbits and 5 European hares and throw them on his farm.

Thomas Austin said that he never thought that throwing the rabbit into the farm would become the starting point of the rabbit disaster in Australia. After only a few years, there are tens of thousands of rabbits on the farm, and some of them have escaped from the farm and spread into the wild.

Due to the fact that it is surrounded by the sea, the species in Australia are different from those on other continents, not only are there no natural predators of rabbits here, but there are also very few large carnivores, only a few predators such as thylacines, which cannot control rabbits at all.

Rabbits are relatively weak and at the bottom of the food chain on other continents, and can be preyed upon by various carnivores such as eagles, wolves, and foxes at any time. Therefore, the survival strategy of rabbits is to give birth as much as possible and ensure the number of populations under the predation of various natural predators, so the rabbits have a strong reproductive ability.

Taking burrowing rabbits as an example, a pair of burrowing rabbits can give birth to six litters of rabbits a year, a total of about 30-60, and newly-born rabbits enter the breeding period when they grow to a few months old, and can continue to breed offspring at the same rate. So once the conditions are right, the rabbit population will grow geometrically and soon become flooded. Tens of billions of rabbits have swept across the continent like locusts in transit, gnawing away vegetation and stealing food from other animals, causing serious environmental damage.

Although the rabbits are tenacious, the population has been brought under control by the local people's frenzied hunting, and there are still about 200 million rabbits on the Australian continent, which is only 2% of the number at its peak.

However, this number is still much larger than Australia's population of 25.7 million, and given the extremely strong reproductive ability of rabbits, Australians still dare not take the matter of controlling the rabbit population lightly, otherwise the rabbits will be flooded again.

The rabbit epidemic in Australia has reached a very serious level, because there are thousands of rabbits in every square kilometer, so the overrun is very serious and must be dealt with in time.

It is particularly serious, because the number of rabbits in this place is particularly large, which affects the local ecological balance and affects the biological chain, and the local ** has not strengthened management.

Flooded to the point of destroying a lot of things, the rabbits here have no natural predators, they reproduce very quickly, and they have already destroyed the environment.

Australia's rabbits have developed particularly seriously, with hundreds of millions of rabbits, and the number is so large that even Chinese can't eat them all.

Because the rabbit breeding rate here is relatively fast, there are no natural enemies, and people don't like to eat rabbit meat very much, so there are more.

Because the locals felt that the hare was a creature that could not be eaten, and also felt that the hare might cause harm to the body, so they did not dare to eat it.

Because the local people do not have the habit of eating rabbits, this situation will occur, and because the local living environment is relatively good, suitable for rabbits to survive, there are no natural predators, so it leads to flooding.

Because the taste of rabbits is not particularly good, the meat is not particularly firm, it may carry infectious diseases, and I don't know how to cook.

<>< 40s of the 19th century, many colonists began to raise rabbits, and rabbit meat also appeared on the tables of ordinary people - those who had money used it for hunting and recreation, and those who did not have money slaughtered to supplement protein. The climate is warm, the place is large, and people still bring a few with them when they are fine, and the rabbit population is growing more and more.

In 1859, a man named Thomas Austen released 13 rabbits on his private possessions in Australia. The landowner was a hobbyist hunter, but he hated that Australia had little to hunt, so he asked his nephew to send some rabbits, partridges and sparrows. It has only been 50 years since the rabbit opened Pandora's box, and the traces of the rabbit's filial piety have spread all over the Australian continent.

Rabbits are the fastest spreading in mainland Australia. They are extremely adaptable, only need soft soil suitable for burrowing and feeding grass to survive, native to Europe rabbits are also strong reproductive ability, three-month-old female rabbits can give birth, can breed 18 31 rabbits per year.

In 1887, the desperate state of New South Wales** even offered a $3 million reward to solve the "rabbit plague". In 1901, it was decided to build three anti-rabbit enclosures to protect Western Australia's pastures. Within six years, three large fences with a total length of more than 2,000 miles were built.

It seems that this person may be able to create a miracle in a hurry.

But the fence also failed, and many rabbits still took advantage of the fence to run away to the reserve. Annoyed Australians turned to biology: in 1950, a rabbit myxoma virus was released into an overwhelming rabbit population.

This virus only causes harm to rabbits and is safe for other animals. During the first release, some rabbits died due to the virus.

The rabbits have evolved in the harsh virus war, and now the killing rate of the virus has dropped to 40%, and the number of rabbits has coincidentally risen to 200 million. In modern times, Australia has also tried biological measures such as rabbit fleas and rabbit hemorrhagic diseases, and in 2018 New Zealand also used a new virus to deal with rabbits that threaten the land.

I have always believed that no rabbit can get out of SichuanIt's all walking spicy rabbit heads, dry pot rabbits. However, in order to eliminate overbreeding rabbits, Australia has introduced myxoma virus transmission to kill rabbits, and those rabbits that have not been killed by the virus have become immune, and rabbits with virions have become inedible rabbits.

Chinese rabbit-eating culture <>

According to statistics, Sichuan sells at least 300 million rabbits, accounting for nearly 7% of the national market. And the most famous ones that eat rabbits are Zigong and Shuangliu. Zigong's famous rabbit dishes are cold rabbit and fresh pot rabbit. Shuangliu has a mother rabbit head, a dry pot rabbit head and a rabbit hot pot.

An ordinary rabbit can eat all kinds of tricks! From the rabbit's head to the rabbit's feet, even the rabbit's heart, liver and liver will not be spared, and they can give you a whole dish and a plate of snacks! Finally, although eating rabbit in China Xiaofeng has become a food culture,It is not a problem to help Australia solve 10 billion rabbits by eating, but rabbits with their own immune virions can only be consumed by Australians themselves.

Then China must have Li Zhiyi people living in Australia, otherwise the <> of this rabbit plague cannot be eliminated

If there are 50 million Chinese living in Australia, it is certain that there will be no disaster. At that time, New China used three years to exterminate wolves, and it was only a little more than a year old. In 1984, Gongyi County, Luoyang City, Henan Province, was exempted from disasters, and the county issued an announcement that a rabbit would be rewarded for catching a rabbit, and the rabbit would return to the hunter.

In less than two years, I saw only rabbit hunters, but no rabbits.

Rabbits have a sense of territory, and there are <> of places where to rest at what time

Where to sleep in two places every month, pull feces and pee in one place, farrowing at random, six or seven pups give birth to different plots. Many of us often have the illusion that the Australian hare is a disaster, and we can solve this problem, because we have many people and like to eat, just like the crayfish in the past ten years, foreigners don't eat it, but we eat it, turning it into a kind of breeding industry, Australians are Europeans, and they are a kind of barbaric predatory thinking in their bonesEven if you are kind enough to help him solve the problem, he will say that you take advantage of him, and it is better to let him become a disaster forever.

Even if one of us, with his consent, goes to hunt hares and imports them back, his people there will obstruct them in every way, set restrictions everywhere, and let you help him in vain through all kinds of oppression, so why should we botherHares were not a necessity on the table, and if he really wanted to be killed, he had to pay for the serviceWe have no obligation to help him, and he won't hand it over to us, so let him go on forever, anyway, he is also a small number of people, the land is sparsely populated, and raising more rabbits and kangaroos is also an ecological balance, and it's none of our business.

If we were to China, we might be able to get these rabbits done within 20 years. Because after all, our country is very food-oriented.

It's hard to say, the number of rabbit breeding is very staggering, and not all people in our country love to eat rabbits.

You can eat it for a month, because the food consumption level of Chinese is very high, especially rabbits, if they are redistributed to the countryside, they should be eaten faster.

Maybe I can't eat this line of rabbits for a few months, there are a lot of Chinese food, and there are many ways to make delicious rabbit meat, these tanque rabbits are not worth mentioning at all.

In fact, it won't take long to eat, after all, the Chinese population base is so large, and it is enough for everyone to share so few.

I think there are enough rabbits for us to eat for about 10 years. But such an idea is unrealistic and incorrect.

It won't take long to eat. Because of our large population base and tireless pursuit of food, there are many cooking methods.

If we Chinese recognize the second in eating, I am afraid that no country has shamelessly dared to recognize the first, haha.

When it comes to invasive species in countries around the world over the years, if it occurs in China, most of them will end up in a very tragic scene, for example, crayfish was originally an invasive species in China, but with recent years, crayfish has become a delicacy in China, and finally people need to rely on artificial breeding to meet the needs of the market.

Why is there a rabbit plague in Australia?

As an independent continent, Australia originally had no trace of rabbits, let alone a large number of rabbit predators. But in the 18th century, the British entered the Australian continent and used it as a place of exile. With the arrival of Western colonizers, the continent was gradually transformed into a living place that could meet the needs of human survival.

But this is not an isolated person, if they want to settle here, then the continent must also be transformed into a place that is in line with their cultural development, so that many poultry and other animals that originally lived in Europe will be brought to Australia.

Due to the relatively large number of people in our country and the number of foodies, to a certain extent, it is indeed possible to solve the problem of rabbit flooding by eating. However, Australia has chosen other methods to eliminate rabbits, that is, the virus has been chosen, which may bring great uncertainty to humans, so according to the current situation of rabbit flooding in Australia, it is no longer suitable for China's foodies to solve it.

Our market now 1 hare sold to more than 100 yuan, more than 30 yuan 1 catty, our hare resources are also very scarce, although the hare is harmful to agriculture, but his meat is still OK, in the past when it was popular to beat rabbits, everywhere, now there are very few, we have a lot of people, there is also an old tradition of eating hare meat, all kinds of bubbles are also delicious. Rabbit skin is also a good fur resource, and we use it a lot more often. The pest of hares in Australia has something to do with the small size of his population, because they are extremely rich in resources per capita, and they are very stubborn, and it is also related to his ethnocultural traditions, and the same is true of the carp infestation in Europe.

This is impossible to solve, this is because of the imbalance of the environment, so the rabbit disaster, if you only eat 10 billion rabbits, can be solved in a short time, but the follow-up problems can not be solved.

It can be solved, but shipping rabbits from Australia to China, the transportation cost is huge, and it is not a solution.

Can't solve it, just eating rabbits can't solve the problem of rabbit flooding, and Chinese are used to eating pork, rabbit meat is not very suitable for Chinese taste, only occasionally eaten.
